Some of your ideas I like but to nuclear energy I would add that all waste has to be deposited within the State where it is created.

I could agree with that as long as the waste site was safe

I would not allow anyone to vote unless they paid federal income tax.

It will never happen. IMO the only fair way is a consumption tax. Tax on products purchased that's it. If you can afford the product you pay the tax. Fair and simple.

It will only be a matter of a few years until the fair tax is not fair. It will be full a deductions and special breaks for this group and that group. Just like what we have now.

I would like to elminate all federal taxes completely. Every single one of them. But that aint gonna happen.

If you only allow people that pay federal income tax vote we stop getting all these politicians giving away money foolishly.

if we could reverse the Carter era EO that does not allow recycling of the rods, there would be 90% less waste....like france


Compared with coal power, nuclear plants produce a miniscule amount of waste and could reduce its quantity even more if permitted. Many nations (such as France, India, and Japan) process spent fuel to reduce its size before storage. However, President Carter forbade this practice in the United States with his 1977 executive order. The commercial waste reprocessing could reduce the amount of hazardous waste produced by a single American's lifetime supply of nuclear electricity to the size of a soda can and a weight of two pounds.

The fair tax program would eliminate all deductions. If we had term limits I think we could keep it that way. without term limits politicians might break the fair tax system with deductions. I agree everyone who votes shoudl have a invested interest in the country
